I'll repeat again, I don't need a fucking tax cut. I need the price of housing to start going down.
Increase taxes on property significantly, and use 100% of that money to give everyone a basic income.
This incentivizes both people and developers to be efficient with their housing choices. Using too much housing for the area you live in? You pay extra to help out everyone. Using the right amount? No harm to you. Using less than the average? Here's a payout, thank you.
Prices overall will drop, because it's no longer profitable to simply own a home due to the taxes, and especially not if there's no people in it because the taxes won't be offset by the basic income.
Carneys housing minister said he doesn't want prices to fall.
Congrats, you voted Liberal. The party of debt and future austerity, and importing people to hide falling GDP and to prop up home values.
What was the conservative plan again?
Tying immigration to housing completions. Forcing rezoning around mass transit. Withholding federal money from areas that dont build enough housing, due to bureaucracy and high developer taxes. Removing GST was his idea as well.

Instead we got a guy who says he doesnt want prices to fall.
